Dates:October 25 – November 1, 2015. The conference will begin with dinner on Sunday evening, October 25, and end after breakfast on Sunday November 1.

“Becoming More Fully Human;The Evolution”

The objective for hosting this international conference is to provide diverse educational workshops in which persons may experience and learn in depth the Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy model. By offering a deep understanding of the Satir Model, individuals can develop and use the model in their personal and professional lives. Another purpose is to promote the development, study and research of the Satir Model internationally. By fostering and embracing strong and lasting fellowship among the members within the Satir community and others, we hope to build an energetic and passionate community committed to growth, change and transformation.

While working on the next issue, Steve died, without much warning, of a brain tumor on October 2, 2014.Read More
